DescriptionSketch elevations and floorplans of a public bath house show a one-story building with a bracketed hip roof. A sign over four banked windows on the front facade reads "PUBLIC BATHS" and over each of two arched entry doors are signs that read "MEN" and "WOMEN". The first floor plan includes numerous shower and changing rooms, toilets, offices, and bench seating. The cellar is largely unexcavated, but includes a heater room and a coal bin.
